The reason I chose the title for this piece is from the little patch of sky on the left side of the sky.

This piece is oil on canvas, with wide edges that are painted so no frame is needed.

This is a new series I am embarking on with the subject of a minimalist landscape, or modern landscape, with emphasis on the horizon. It is verging on abstract, and in fact, many aspects of the work are abstract if you look at parts of it.

(please share more about the story of this piece)

I am a painter. I have loved painting all my life. I studied Art and Art History at UC Berkeley, and have been painting professionally ever since.
I have shown in galleries and museums all over California, and have sold hundreds of paintings all over the world, from New York, to Finland and Qatar.
I am inspired by nature, color and emotion. Hopefully you will get a sense of calm, happiness, or wonder from what I paint. I'm not out to make political statements with my work, but to express joy and gratitude of life through the medium of oil paints.
